You must be cousin Sandy!

Genre

adventure; humor; children

Characters

Frumson (The Champ) Wooters; Sandy

Synopsis

The kids at camp are disappointed to discover that The Champ is fat and doesn't look athletic at all. He has a surprisingly good attitude about himself, despite the fact that he finishes last in everything he does. What upsets him is how all of the other kids feel sorry for themselves, because they're too lazy to train and practice for a place on the team. He goes out on a limb and states that with a little practice, he could beat all of them in each of their own specialties.

Indexer Notes

Max Pine was an alias of Frank Moss, per 2006 interview with Frank Borth: "You can find out in reading your things he also uses the word Max Pine as a substitute for him because he didn't want them to think he was writing everything in the place..." http://cuislandora.wrlc.org/islandora/object/cuislandora%3A40849
